Game and Fish targets a record 58 wolves

JACKSON -- Wyoming’s 2018 wolf hunt will target more animals than in any other modern season and will boost the number of wolves that hunters can kill from one to two.

A Wyoming Game and Fish Department proposal released Friday increases the limit in the state’s managed hunt area to 58 animals, a 32 percent increase over last year’s quota of 44. Although the quota is the highest yet, the overall goal of the hunt remains unchanged: cutting wolf numbers to 160 in areas where Wyoming imposes limits on hunting.
